Lixue BohSept 09 Taiwan Trip Day 1
Taiwan Trip Day 1 After years of hoping to go to taiwan, Im finally heading there with my baby !
10D9N taiwan F&E .
i ❤ Terminal 3 most !
Our flight departs at 10:25am on 4th September 2009.
We took an early train to Changi Airport.
Let's take some photos before we take skytrain to Terminal 1 :(
Brought along my new VS makeup pouch.
loveitalot because of the bling blings :D
i like this board in Terminal 1 :)
i like the movement of it flipping.
Well, the flight delayed, therefore we sat at the holding area and waited for a long time.
We finally boarded the plane.
It seems better than the previous airline that we took.
At least we get to listen to music, play games and watch movies.
Baby is watching spongebob cartoon, but of course its in chinese
And the food is much better ! :D
i had curry fish rice.
Kenji's .
Got cashew nuts, i like !
Noon's flight isn't good at all, the sun is too bright to see anything out there !
So i was just listening to music and watching movie.
We reached Taoyuan International Airport !
and its a longggg way to the arrival hall, v weird.
Stupid. Putting a video can cause all my words below to be gone.
Hmm. First thing to do after we landed, is to find our tour guide, betty.
She's in-charge of fetching us from the airport to our hotel.
We sat in a coach bus along with other singaporeans.
Unluckily, its peak hour so having heavy traffic jam.
We only managed to reach our hotel around 6pm...
We stayed in East Dragon Hotel, which is included in our package..
We didnt have much expectations for it.
But it do surprise us with its interior...
Its simple and clean for the standard basic room.
We quickly get ready our things and leave the hotel room.
Off we go to 西门町 !
We were kinda lost when we stepped into 西门町.
Alot of small alleys and streets .
Well, i dont think 西门町 looks exactly like what i imagine.
It seems to be smaller in scale. Even the circle in the middle of 西门町, which alot of singers did their autography session over there seems to be so much smaller !
Worst of all, it started raining.
The rain in Taiwan isnt like the rain in singapore.
Singapore's is just like a minor case which you'll not be afraid of.
Well, im afraid of the rain in Taiwan. Even with umbrella, there's no use.
We felt so shagged after the rain.
My mood was totally spoilt, as i was in my heels !
Having difficulty to walk in the rain.
We roamed around and saw bentos selling at NT50.
We bought one each and off to 7-eleven across the street.
Bought drinks and chips. Lays in seaweed flavor ~ NICE
Bento for NT50.
Bought more food down the streets and we went back to our hotel room.
We tried the nice bubble tea which i have tried before. But we didnt know that it was sooo sweet for the normal sugar level. should have request for 1/4 of sugar level instead and it will taste nice !
The first day wasnt a good experience for us. First, its the rain. Secondly, we werent familiar with the streets. Thirdly, the youngsters will stare at us and you wont know what they are thinking.
BAD BAD DAY. We were praying for a better day for the following days.
Things we bought today :
Things we have learnt:
1) Water has to be boiled in order to drink.
2) The tap water from the drain isnt purified clean.
3) Toilet rolls cannot be thrown into the toilet bowl.
Traumatized by your love.
